SyFy Channel blocks Google TV

Starr Keshet, 8th November 2010

The SyFy Channel seems determined to snub geeks, nerds and technophiles by blocking access to its programming on Google TV-powered devices.

So, forget about watching the latest episode of Stargate Universe or Caprica (now re-runs) on your Logitech Revue - you'll just have to navigate elsewhere for your daily Sci-Fi fix.

As GigaOm's Janko Roettgers notes, the move isn't entirely surprising, because SyFy is owned by NBC Universal, which has banned Google TV systems from accessing NBC.com content ever since its October debut.
